No Minor Joy For Donal

The M Donnelly Minor 60×30 Championship came to a conclusion on Saturday in Abbeylara when Donal Wrynn took on Limericks Paudi Quish in the All-Ireland Final.

The Fenagh clubman entered the game having scored historic All Ireland Minor 40×20 singles and 60×30 doubles triumphs but in the newly crowned Minor Hardball SIngles champion, he found a bridge too far. Paudi Quish, who still has another year in this grade, gave a superb exhibition of 60×30 play with his fly killshots and slicing spins down the sides of the court thrilling his large Limerick support. He won the opener 21-3 and lead by 12-2 in the second. Wrynn did fire up a few top class long range corner kills to close the deficit and he did serve at 8-12 but Quish quickly found his gears again and closed out the match at 21-9.

U12/U13 60×30 Team Championship

Fenagh Handball Club represented Connacht in the u12/13 grade in The All-Ireland semi-finals played in Mullingar on Sunday. They were defeated by a very strong Tyrone team representing Ulster. The team consisted of Oisin, Fergal and Eoin McLoughlin, David and James Wrynn, Cormac Scollan and Tom McKeon.

Leitrim Claim First 60×30 Minor Title

Last week-end saw two Leitrim handball sets of doubles in All-Ireland action Minor Doubles Shane Doonan and Donal Wrynn and Ladies Junior B Doubles Ciara McLoughlin and Mary Shanley.
Leitrim lay claim to a first ever GAA Handball All Ireland Minor Softball Doubles championship crown in Abbeylara on Saturday to the delight of their large travelling support Corks Michael Hedigan and Daniel Relihan battled hard for court space but in the end the class and power of Donal Wrynn really stood out on this occasion. The Fenagh clubman delivered eye-catching looming range shooting with both hands and with his partner, Shane Doonan, chasing down anything on the right,they powered to a convincing 21-14, 21-12 win. The Fenagh duo were simply a class above their opponents, with Doonan in top form killing the ball whenever he got the opportunity.

On Sunday Ciara McLoughlin and Mary Shanley took on Kilkennys Denise Doyle and Megan Clifford in the Ladies decider but unfortunately the Kilkenny ladies came out on top on a score line of 21-11, 21-18. The first game slipped away from the Leitrim pair as they couldnt get to grips with the Kilkenny girls serves. The second game was a must win for Leitrim to force a tie-break and with some great serving and rallies it looked like the Leitrim pair were going to win, leading at one stage by 8 aces, but it wasnt to be Leitrims day and Kilkenny just edged ahead to take the game by 3 aces.

All-Ireland 60×30 Minor Final
Donal Wrynn takes on Limericks Padraig Quish in The M Donnelly 60×30 All-Ireland Minor Final in Abbeylara on Saturday at 1.30, his third Minor Final of the year.
